VS 2008 Creating Dynamic SerialPort Controls
May 31, 2009
I need to create some serial port controlls manually. My program reads through a config file, and it if comes across an entry called COMPORT then I need to create a contol to talk to this port. The entries in the ini file might be
COMPORT=COM1
COMPORT=COM3
COMPORT=COM7
So here is my problem! I'd like to create the variable control name with part of the com port number, so I can always refer back to it.
EG.
Dim strVar as sring = "COM1"
Dim CName+strVar As New System.IO.Ports.SerialPort

I have a VB.Net WinForm Program. I dynamically create panels with controls.Each panel has:
2 Labels
1 DataGridView
1 Button
Everything works fine the first time I create the panels.
Everything gets created, and everything is functional.
If I have to re-create the form, I get rid of the existing panels (and their controls) with this code:
[Code]...
When I re-create the panels, I get the panels and all of their controls except Buttons.When I step through the debugger, I see the buttons being removed, and I see them being created, but they don't appear in the panel

I am writing an application that requires button controls to be created at run time because the amoutn of controls created depends on data retrieved from a database.
I believe I am creating the control properly but I am not capturing the click event.
Code example:
Dim myButton As Button
myButton = New Button
myButton.id = "id"

I had been searching as to how I could create an array of controls dynamically, and after some searching found some helpful code as shown below [code]This way in the above code "structureComboBoxes" will have an array of comboBoxes (VB6.0 was way easy to get this crap done!! I guess its cleaner here)Now my next problem is How do i code for events of each of these combo boxes?

I am making a hangman clone for boredom and I can't seem to make the labels show up properly. Maybe I'm doing this wrong entirely and should just limit what's visible instead.

I have a query about dynamically added controls to a form. I have a series of buttons which are created and added at run time. I have a two drop down lists and two buttons which are created at design time. Button 1 creates a series of buttons called "Test 1.x" based upon the selection of the two drop down lists. This works fine and am happy with the logic.However.... Button two should remove all the dynamically created buttons from the form.This does not happen. What does happen is that 50% of the buttons are removed starting with the first one. WHen checking the loop it only enters the loop half the amount of times that there are buttons. Very strange. When the loop is run repeatability it will remove all controls. Why will my logic not remove all the dynamically created controls at once? What is wrong with my logic?
I attach two code snippets and the .net file for your consideration.Button method which creates the dynamically created buttons from the two drop down lists and adds to form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Count As Integer
Dim MaxHours As Integer

I have a panel that is a set size and has its Autoscroll property set to True.I am parsing text files and then adding them to the panel. I'm extracting specific lines and then adding them to labels and text boxes that are in the panel.When my app runs, it can parse anywhere from 0-10 files at a time.If there are no files to parse, I don't want any controls in the panel. I'll be creating the controls based on how many text files I have. For each text file, I'll have 3 controls.
I'll count the text files before I parse them, and insert the controls into the panel.The problem is that I don't know how to place the controls based on the location of the panel/form. I know the panel will always have a permanent spot, but I won't know if the location parameters of the panel have changed because I won't know how many controls there will be before the app parses the files.
However, I will know the size of the controls that I'm inserting.So, with all of that, is there a way to insert the controls inside of the panel, and then based on that information, insert the others?

The editor basically uses a bunch of labels and pictureboxes (for now) and then an image is created from the panel which contains all of the controls.It sounds quite confusing, but basically i'm trying to create something like visual studio itself, which will allow "controls" to be added onto a panel, and then everything can be exported as an image when the user chooses to.I've worked out all the code to move controls and exporting the image, just having trouble trying to work out how to add an event for newly created controls as you can only handle a control, and not a variable.

Is it possible to create instances of controls on a form ? Of course I mean visually , not just by code. After all, these languages define themselves as "Visual" so they should provide that possibility. It is important for the instances to be visible during design time because otherwise we could only guess where those controls might "land". Nevertheless , I have the feeling this is not possible in VB .NET but still I thought I should ask first ...

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for creating custom controls. I want something that is actually understandable.I have gone through a few but nothing really any good at this point. I want to create my own contol that uses its own look and not just modifying a windows control.

I am dynamically creating and adding dropdown controls to DevExpress XtraGrid.That works fine and I can add a dropdown control to any column I wish.My main problem is that I need to have the first element in the dropdown control displayed. But after I dynamically add 3 dropdown controls to the grid, only the last one has the element displayed. The previous two do not.Although, I add the elements
this is what the code looks like:
vb.net
Dim column as DevExpress.XtraGrid.RepositoryItem.GridLookupEdit
For i as Integer = 0 to dsSometing.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
column = New DevExpress.XtraGrid.RepositoryItem.GridLookUp
[code]....
The code will go tru and add lets say 3 dropdown controls, set their .DataSource to datasets I need, but it will only show .NullText of the last added control.

How would you add Dynamic controls to your form, from an array which size may vary depending on how many controls the user has selected and has been retrieved from a database?

I am programmatically adding some custom user controls to a PlaceHolder which I have on a simple aspx page. All of the user controls Postback's work correctly except for one which has a Gridview on it.
For some reason any postback that gets fired from within this control, does not call the specified event on the first click, however all future clicks it will work fine. I have no idea why this is the case, but many solutions I have found, suggest adding an ID to the ascx User Control, however this doesn't work in my case.
I've taken a look at the source file for the page that gets generated before and after the first click, javascript used for calling the postback changes, i.e
Before first click: onclick="javascript:__doPostBack('tmpControlID$sgvPrimaryEmploymentHistory','Select$0')"
After first click:
[Code]....
Again, nothing overly complicated. The USERCONTROLNAME is just a const with the value "tmpControlID" in it.
The control that is giving me trouble is a little complicated, I was originally using a custom GridView control that we have created, but have removed it and replaced it with the standard asp one to see if the problem still occurs, and it does.
Any button, on control which fires off a postback will fail the first time, and all future click will work correctly. On the first click the Page_Load event will get called, but that is it.

Previous in my app, I've created dynamic controls and and named them blah0, blah1, blah2 etc. There will be a different amount created each time the user runs the app.I'm now trying to delete all of the controls but doing something very wrong. I've got the following
dim checkboxes = Controls.OfType(Of CheckBox).AsQueryable()
dim sPrefix as string = "blah"
for each checknum as checkbox in checkboxes
[code]....
When I execute the above, it only gets rid of every second control and I have no idea why. If I swap the dispose with a msgbox, the msgbox appears every time as I'd expect. It would seem that disposing of a checkbox seems to somehow requery the number available?

This works great, the problem I am having now it retreiving the details once Button1 is clicked. I got as far as this:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
For Each key As String In Request.Form.AllKeys
If key.Contains("txtPrompt-") Then
[code]....
But just need to display the id of the input box that has a value of more than 0. Am I close at all?

I'm having problems removing dynamic controls.
Here is what I'm using:
CODE:
The first sub is for adding the (custom)control, the second sub is for removing the control.
The custom control is a picturebox with a checkbox in the upper-left hand corner, no big deal.
The problem is that when I click the delete command, it only deletes one ckPicture at a time, and allways the last one in the list. I'm also assuming it's doing the same thing in the list(of images). What should I do differently so that it will remove all controls that are checked?
I forgot to add the variables in my namespace.

I have an Application that has a tab control on it. Depending what the end user clicks on, a new tab is created dynamically at runtime and I use a Template class to fill it with controls of what is needed for the type of tab being created. All works fine but where I have an issue is with the dynamic tooltip control. I added a tooltip to the main form and added code to access it in the Template Class. But I feel I have to rig it to get it to work and am looking for a more proper way to do it. I access the Tooltip1 on Form1 via Form1.components. However, "Components" in the Form1 designer code is declared Private and I change it to Public and it works fine but of course as I know when I make changes to the Design of Form1 it recreates the code and Chages the Componets back to Private. So I need a better way to access it or a better way to create Tooltips dynamically.
Code:
'---CreateTab Class--- a portion of code for example
CreateTab(ByRef tpNew As TabPage)
Dim btnSelect = New System.Windows.Forms.Button
